Google Docs

Well...after playing around with Google Docs I can see how it would be benefical to use in the workplace. It would definitely help to cut down on -mails and allow users to make changes among each other

Learn and Play Wiki Sandbox

I just posted my favorite book on the CML wiki sandbox. It was great to be able to "edit" and add my favorite as well as seeing other staff persons favorite.

Wild About Wikis

I enjoyed learning about the wikis and believe it would great to communicate with a particular group in CML to share and exchange ideas. It would definitely help to minimize the number of e-mails received on a weekly basis

Library 2.0

I just read the perspective, "Away From Icebergs" and they were just a few things that really stuck out in the article such as the following: "We need to focus our efforts not on teaching research skills but on eliminating the barriers that exist between patrons and the information they need, so they can spend as little time as possible wrestling with lousy search interfaces and as much time as possible actually reading and learning." It seems that as staff we do spend alot time trying to "teach" customers when in actuality it would be alot more easier and more efficienct if the websites were easier to navigate and "user -friendly." So I agree, that many times it is not the customer that "we need to fix" but maybe some of the technology!

Delicious

After exploring the delicious website I found fairly interesting. It was nice to see what other people list as their favorite websites and the tagging helps to make it very user friendly. It is definitely a site that I can see myself using in the future so good-bye to "my favorites!"

Twitter

I played around a little last week with Twitter and I think I will connected with my friends via text messaging. I personally don't know anyone with a twitter account and I can't see myself using that form of communicating.

Library Thing

Well I just finished exploring around with Library Thing and I prefer to use Shelfari. I just like the overall look of the site and it seems easier to navigate around.
